Israeli National Security Minister calls for "total occupation" of Gaza
Faced with this, Benjamin Netanyahu has stressed that the religious status quo will not change, and Hamas and Jordan have accused Israel of "provocations."
Israel's Minister of National Security , the ultra-right-wing Itamar Ben Gvir, called on Sunday for a "complete occupation" of the Gaza Strip in the context of the military offensive against the Palestinian enclave, which has made its statement in the Mosque Esplanade in East Jerusalem, one of the most sensitive places in the region, leading the Jewish prayer there against the current status quo.
"To ensure the full occupation of the Gaza Strip, we must proclaim sovereignty throughout the enclave, expel all members of Hamas and encourage voluntary migration of Israelis," Ben Gvirre said in a video broadcast on social media.
Since the Israeli Government, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has tried to defuse tension by sayingthat "the status quoon Temple Mountain will not and will not change, "repeating the traditional institutional message after such events. According to Israel's official position, access to the Esplanade, the third most sacred place of Islam, will be restricted to Muslim worship, although Jewish visits have been admitted to school.
Hamas: "provocation" and "resistance"
Hamas, for its part, has responded strongly to the Israeli minister's visit, accusing him in a statement of "throwing firewood into thefire with provocations that hurt the feelings of millions of Muslims. "
The Palestinian organization has also criticized the fact that raids by Israeli settlers and senior officials on the religious ground have been supported by the institutions, claiming that such actions are part of a broader plan to seize and control the holy place.
Moreover, the organization has denounced Ben Gvirr's involvement in Jewish prayers as breaking the religious balance agreed with Jordan since 1967, the official guardian of the Mosque Esplanade.
Jordan "unacceptable provocation"
The Governmentof Jordan has also condemned the presence of the Israeli minister on the Esplanade. Indeed, it has described Gvir's visit as a "flagrant violation of international law "and an" unacceptable provocation "that endangers the stability of the region.
It should be noted, as noted above, that since 1967 Jordan has been the country responsible for official surveillance of the Mosque Esplanade.
